If you are concerned enough, but a phone with physical switches

Or at least phone with a removable battery

I know I will never buy a phone without a 3.5 audio jack

That last sentence surprises me a bit. What does a 3.5 audio jack have to with any of this?
Manufacturers are always trying to push features that are more profitable to them. As expected.

Non-removable batteries is the new standard because of that. (Also stream lining) Which is bad for security (the point of the article)

I don't use bluetooth because it is not reliable enough for me, because I don't like charging another device and, less importantly, because in the past it has been exploited to hack devices. The audio jack is the one port I prefer never to part with.
